Bombardier Global Express, a long-range twin-engine business jet, was designed and developed by Bombardier Aerospace of Canada. It was launched in October 1991, made its first flight in October 1996, and began commercial service in July 1999. The aircraft shares the fuselage cross-section with the Canadair Regional Jet (CRJ) and Challenger 600.
The Global Express is noted for its operational range. It can fly up to 6,390 nautical miles depending on payload and environmental conditions. This capability allows for intercontinental flights without refueling. Blade.com notes that “the Bombardier Global Express Jet is a popular choice for corporate and VIP travel. It has an impressive range, allowing passengers to travel from New York to Tokyo and London to Singapore non-stop.”
Turbulence attenuation is another feature of the Global Express. Its design includes an efficient wing and a new T-tail that helps reduce turbulence during flight. This design draws upon proven designs from Canadair and Bombardier CRJ models.
